Valuation
What is this redemption actually worth?
The arithmetic on a redemption takes ten seconds. The hard part is the second half of the question — good compared to what?
These tools separate the two. The calculator prices what you got, to the cent, from figures you supply and can check. The comparison against a program's published value is treated as a different claim entirely: it belongs to whoever published it, and it gets their name and their date attached, never ours.
Price any redemption to the cent: cash fare, minus the cash you paid at booking, divided by the points you spent.
